Hello! New to the site, but not the fandom ;-)

My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: Applejack

How did you find MLP Forums?:

How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic:

I am a 19 year old guy, recently finished my freshman year of college - I got a 3.86 GPA, yay!  Ironically, if you knew me in real life, you'd never guess a guy like me would watch MLP.  I'm a country boy who normally sticks to the traditional small town ways, as that is how I was raised.  If y'all are familiar with the whole naming of the generations, I was born a Gen Y-er, but I am quite different from most people my age.  Though I am a Computer Science major, I'm not the average teen who is always texting, who is hooked on social networking all the time, etc. etc... No, even though I have a cell, I use it sparingly, and I rarely get on Facebook.  In my spare time, I'm either driving my truck or my motorcycle around town, or I'm on my computer, likely either searching through YouTube videos, watching MLP, or contemplating what kind of oil I'm gonna use for my next oil change (yah, I'm a gearhead).  I almost always am sporting a ball cap, usually my Ford hat, or my CAT hat.  

 

Onto more relevant to MLP subject matters, I've watched all the episodes, season 1 through 4, probably at least 3 or 4 times through, if not more.  It's funny that the first thing on this post to do after the title is to say which is your favorite pony... but that's just real hard for me.  I like to be very descriptive, specific, and down to earth as possible, as my ADHD (I don't have attention problems, that's ADD, I have impulsive problems, but with maturing as a college student, and the help of medicine, I've gotten alot better) makes me focus greatly on being detail specific.  Thus, I hope that you fellow bronies are not the "too long didn't read" type, because shortly following I will describe my stance on each pony of the Mane 6:

 

Applejack: Being a country boy, it's no stretch to say that she and I have very similar ways and aspects.  Tradition oriented thinking, stubbornness, and farmer's builds - to name a few.  I like A.J. alot because of that.  But more than that, her characteristics in general just appeal to me, and so she battles to have my number 1 favorite position with Rainbow Dash.

 

Fluttershy: Well, look at my username.  It's not necessarily that I'm really shy, just more that I am introverted like Fluttershy.  She is loving, caring, affectionate, and understanding, and I like to think I am like that, too.

 

Pinkie Pie: And I said - Oatmeal! Are you crazy?  Hahaha, I can relate to her randomness, but she's got a bit more energy than I.  Of the all the Mane 6, I know she's made me laugh the most.  

 

Rainbow Dash:  It's ironic that I should have her battling for my number 1 position with Applejack, as I'm really not much of an athlete, and I'm humble like A.J. instead of having the pride that Rainbow has.  It's hard to put into words why I like her so much, but I think it has alot to do with her loyalty, and thus, her instinctual reaction to protect herself and her friends.  She's a fighter, or rather, guardian of the group, so to speak.  She may not be as tough or as strong as A.J., but it's only small discrepancies that differ between their toughness and strength.  One thing's for sure, she is/would be the first to react in fight or flight situations.

 

Rarity:  Well, I really don't have all that much in common with her, but that doesn't mean I don't like her.  However, because she's such a drama queen, she's not a top favorite.

 

Twilight Sparkle: It might blow your mind that a gearhead country boy like me would be a nerd, but, I kind of am.  Twilight just has the best logic and the most common sense of the Mane 6, and that is why I am so similar to her. 

 

And so, with all that being said, the most logical way to show my ordered list of favorites would be:

 

#1 and #2 (tied) - Applejack and Rainbow Dash

 

#3 - Twilight Sparkle

 

#4 and #5 (tied) - Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie

 

#6 - Rarity

 

 

Sorry to those who say you can't have multiple top favorites, but when you have such a hard-set detail oriented mind, it's hard to do anything otherwise.

P.S. I'm still trying to figure out how to change my user icon.

 

But here's one of my favorite expression's of A.J.'s:

The "How I found [this]" and "How I became a fan..." sections were not working properly for me, so here's the short versions of that:

 

Found this site with Google Search - was just searching a question about the Mane 6 and found myself here.

 

And... Curiosity.  That's how I became a fan.  The 2 pilot episodes was all it took to get me hooked.

Hello Miles! I liked how you explained your view on each pony. For me, Fluttershy is my favourite and then Rainbow Dash who is almost tied by Twilight Sparkle as my second favourite, then Pinkie Pie, then Rarity, and then Applejack (sorry about AJ being last, I don't dislike her, I just like the others more—I really don't have much in common with her). Welcome to the forums, and I hope you enjoy it here!

Thanks everyone for the welcomes.

One thing I should say is that I'm a busy person, so getting on here to make posts will take some time, but I promise to not go A.W.O.L. - and I may take awhile to get accustomed to this site.  Not that it's overly big or complicated, but there are many things to do that may take some time before I get to doing, if you know what I mean.

Hi and welcome to the forums! Methinks we have many things in common. I see, ya like large American trucks just like me (though I prefer Chevy ) And I’m fixin’ to learn Comp Sci too. What about country music? Do you like it? Cause it seems I’m only one here, who listen it.
